So far so incredible Lex! I said 'wow' on almost every photo. The photos of the fuselage look like a real aircraft has been stripped back. Are you going to leave some of this beautiful detailing on view, or are you going to cover it up?

Gorbygould; No, I'm going to close the fuselage. But because the large greenhouse you can see enough details. I have the HPH catapult and so stuck with the dilemma of closed (logical), or open (not so logical) the engine panels. I put a lot of effort in detailing the engine, so it would be a shame to hide that part.

Really a nice build so far. I´m not an aircraft modeller by now, but I decided last week to build this plane with the catapult too, so Count me in 👍

What a pitty that you closed the fuselage. The interior is sooooo damn pretty and well detailed! (Hey psssst, did you made the engine run?)😢

It did run for a brief moment Holger, but the plastic pistons melted after a few seconds :-p
Moritz, do you have the kit already? I know that on this moment it's out of production?

There must be something up north; modellers from the Netherlands are a class of their own!

As said before, one could say "Wow!" on almost each picture! All those perfectly made tiny details! That, my friend, is first class build!

Album info

I started building this kit about 3 years ago. Like so many builds, I quit when the project was finished for 75%, and started something new. Decided that it was time to finish at least 1 project, so here we go. This beautiful kit begs for extra detailing, so that is what I did.
